These values will get you close enough for most work. Either 1/4 watt carbon film or metal film. The tolerance of the resistors can be 5%, 2% or 1%, depending upon your source and pricing. It is getting harder to find small bulk quantities at reasonable prices. The distributors want to sell you a reel of 10,000 pieces!

There are some nice protoboards with 3 built-in power supplies for about $120 like this.
